While interacting with students at the IIMUN event in Mumbai on Thursday, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said protests are a legitimate democratic tool that should promote dialogue and consensus rather than deepen divisions
Addressing nearly 2,000 members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha at the 15th anniversary event of India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) in Mumbai, Bhagwat said differing opinions should be resolved through discussion
"The grievances of Gen Z are genuine, and I believe in their honesty," Bhagwat said
The interaction is being viewed as one of the RSS' most significant outreach efforts to Gen Z and Gen Alpha, coming after widespread youth-led protests over the NEET paper leak that culminated in the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
Bhagwat said the concerns being raised about India's education system were valid and maintained that dialogue should always be the first course of action.
